LENGTH OF FIELD

In the following code I am trying to check an input field with a length of
8 char.
Pmmchn is a Machine Number.  When someone keys in a machine number
with less than 8 char, it takes it anyway.  I suspect that the field is
being padded
with blanks. Can anyone give me a suggestion to check my Machine Number
and make sure it is 8 characters every time?

C                   If        %len(PMMCHN) <> 8
C                   EXSR      CLRSR
C                   Eval      ERRMSG = ERR(16)
C                   LeaveSr
C                   EndIf
